As soon as the Gallant Admiral had concluded his ad dress, three loud .and hearty cheers were given by the Brethren, which were taken up and repeated by the vast assemblage, which, on the lowest calculation, must have amounted to 15,000—the bands in attendance struck up the national anthem, a salute of artillery was fired from the pier, hats were flung up, and flags and banners waved on all sides.

WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. N qi.14,393. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1838. PRICE sd. interesting.' The sun which bad been for some time pre , viously obscured, burst out with great splendour, and illu minated the beautiful panorama of the Southampton waters, with its picturesque coast scenery, every part of which, wtih the shores of Itchen as fir as the eye could reach, was densely crowded with human' beings ; the vessels and yachts in the roadstead were all gaily decorated with flags, and their yards and rigging manned ; the piers, quays, windows, trees, and even house tops, were thickly studded with those who could not obtain a nearer view of the pro ceedings, and every countenance around us was expressive of gratification and joy. When silence had been in some measure restored, JOSEPH Licniss, Esq., the Chairman of the Dock Com pany, ascended the stone and addressed the assembly t o the following effect :—" Right Worshipful the Acting Grand Master, and Gentlemen, United Brethren of free and accepted Masons—the Worshipful Mayor end Gentlemen of the Corporation of Southampton—and Gentlemen Pro. prietors of the Southampton Docks—by virtue of and under the Provisions of an Act of Parliament that was passed in the latter part of the reign of our late and deeply lamented Sovereign, King William IV., by which this Company was incorporated, fdeclare this to be the first, the foundation stone of Commercial Docks at this port. An undertaking vast in its extent, and comprehensive in its design, that has been devised by a band of men who, in singleness of heart, and with honesty of purpose, knowing what is now required to meet the demands of commerce, and foreseeing, as we believe we do in the multifarious changes that are now taking place, that increased necessities will soon be mani fested, have resolved to be prepared for coming events, - under a deep conviction of mind, that in attaining the ends here contemplated we shall at the same time accomplish another object of a much purer, a much higher, be cause a more Christianly character—l mean the miti gation- of human suffering—the preservation of human life, for, as men of business, we know what is needful to facilitate the doily operation of our own affairs. As shipowners, we know where our ship , . aro subject to the longest detentions by contrary winds, by which our expenses are largely increased ; as merchants, we know where we are exposed to the greatest losses by the destruction of our property ; and, above all, we know where it is that the greatest number of human beings are sacrificed to the fury of the contending elements—and we hope, as we firmly believe, that all these evils, great as they are, will be largely diminished by the construction of docks in this magnificent harbour.—( Loud cheers.) Gen tlemen, permit me to offer you my sincere and my hearty congratulations that this most noble work is so auspiciously commenced in your presence and under your sanction, and laymen though we be, though we are men " who go to the sea in ships and occupy our business on great waters," let us from this place join with the utmost sincerity the Rev. Gentleman whom I have now the honour and the happiness to see before me, in the pious exhortation he uttered this day in the house of God—that the Almighty disposer of our destinies will be graciously pleased so to guide our steps and direct our way in the progress of this undertaking, that through His assistance we may be en. abled to bring it to a final and successful completion—that when we who are here assembled together shall have " shuffled off the mortal coil" by which we are sur rounded, that countless numbers will remain behind who will have reason to rejoice in the good works per formed by those who are gone before—when little children may clap their hands for joy that their friends have been preserved from an untimely death by shipwreck—when they may be enabled to say " their father is yet alive," and when the whole commercial community may be in the full enjoyment of all those advantages which must accrue from a great commercial structure such as this will be, and which I trust will endure for ages.—(Hear, and cheers.) Sir Lucius Curtis, permit me, in my own name, in the name of my colleagues, and on the behalf of the Proprietors of the Company gr narally, to offeryourself, and the united brethren, our united, our cordial thanks, for the honour you have done us this day, in placing the stone en which I stand— the foundation of our future Docks.—(Great cheering.) Three cheers were then given for the Worshipful the MAYOR, who returned thanks for the compliment paid hint. They had that day laid the foundation stone of one of the most important works that had ever been commenced in Southampton, and he hoped he should shortly see im mense masses of building rising upon that spot, which would confer employment and happiness upon thousands of families, and their children after them.—(Cheers.) Their worthy Chairman had placed the merits of the undertaking in the proper light, for he had based them upon Chris tianity, and humanity—those feelings were chacteristic of the English nation, and of the mason's heart.—(lmmense cheering.) He (Mr. Lobb) was himself a mason, and, mast sincerely did he congratulate that ancient and 'no nourable fraternity that it had been called upon to lay the foundation stone of these Docks. Occupying the position of Chief Maeistrate . of the town, he could not but congratu late himself that he was the first who had ever witnessed an undertaking of the kind, which was likely to promote so extensively the wealth and happiness of its people.— (Cheers.) Three hearty cheers were then given for the Earl of Yar borough, who briefly expressed his acknowledgments, and the sincere pleasure he felt at havin g been present at the interesting oc c e e s r s e ion mon a i ,n o e so r fe-tfonied the day. and returned by the same route, the municipal autho r iti es h a l t i ng at the audit house, and the brethren proceeding to their lodge-room. The Western Dock, of which the foundation stone was laid, is situate to the east of the town pier, and close to the terminus of the London and Southampton Railway, which will cross the high road near the Dock-house in a direct line, and proceed along the dock quay, so that goods and passengers can be literally transferred from the vessels to the railway carriages. The eastern embankment along which it is intended the railway shall pass will be 3,040 feet long, and the Western Dock wall 1,760 feet. Th e dimensions of the dock are 1,700 feet long by 500 feet wide, and it will contain 23 feet in depth of water at high water of spring tides. The Company have also purchased a large tract of land to the east of the intended dock, con taining upwards of 134 acres, so that the means are at their disposal of affording further dock room, as soon as the increased trade of the town may require it.

Yesterday was a proud day for Southampton. Under circumstances the most auspicious was laid the foundation-stone of the magnificent Docks, of which the plans have been for two years before the public, and which are destined, when completed, to place Southampton in a distinguished position among the commercial ports of England. Of the proceedings which preceded and followed that important ceremony, a full report will be found in another part of The Sun. In the history of nations there are few circumstances more impressive than those which may be said to mark the rise of • great commercial emporiums ; and therefore we are not surprised to learn that the good folks of Southampton exhibited on an occasion of such moment an extraordinary degree of joyful ex citement. Already may they begin to regard them selves as " citizens of no mean city," as from the re cent improvements in steam navigation ; the pecu liarly favourable situation of their port ; the capacious ness and safety of their harbour ; and their facility of railway communication with London, they can safely calculate upon-their town-becoming one among the first in commercial importance in the kingdom. When the London and Southampton Railway and Docks are finished, most of the merchant vessels that now lose nearly a week in endeavouring to make the port of London, will then put into a port which they may enter without delay or danger—where they will be effectually sheltered by the Isle of Wight from every wind, and from whence their cargoes can be easily conveyed to the metropolis. The rise of Southamp ton into commercial importance necessarily involves no diminution of the trade of London ; but, on the con trary, may be made to prove of the utmost benefit to it. .The navigation of the Thames is not only ex tremely difficult from the great number of vessels in the River, but much time is lost to vessels entering and clearing out, from the crowded state of the Pool adja cent to the principal docks. As the commerce of the country increases, consequent upon the opening of the great lines of railway, a greater - outlet for the foreign twtore know traffic of fLondon, th an can b e afforded by the Thames, will bec ome a b so l ute l y necessary ; an d f or suc h ou tl et u n ilin o a d:r al advantages port so e S Southamp ton—the u veryt h a mp - the proceedings cor rectlysmuof y pin es t t h er e day,to introduction wiiloh t w o o tl h re m ß Te Report of referred. The following is the Report : The interesting and important ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Southampton Docks took place yesterday with all the Masonic honours, in presence of the municipal authorities of the town of Southampton and an immense assemblage of spectators. The peculiar eligibility of this port as a commercial entrepot will be at once ac knowledged, when its position with regard to the rest of England and the French coast is considered. The general range of the railways already executed or in progress in this country, and which are destined ere many years to effect such important changes in our mercantile and commercial a rrangements, is from North to South, and a line carried from Edinburgh to. Southampton would divide the country between them into twb nearly equal parts—the East and West branches of the main trunk, already opened and in progress of formation, affording to every part of the king. , dom access to the sea on either side of the island. The position of Southampton on the English Channel ; its proximity to the sea ; the complete shelter afforded by that natural breaker, the Isle of Wight ; the great depth of its main channel ; freedom from bend or sinuosity ; and the peculiar adaptation of the site selected for the • docks, at the confluence of the river lichen with South ampton Water, presenting two sides of deep water for dock entrances ; and the termination of the London and Southampton Railway, at the Southern extremity of the town, abutting on the dock premises ;—all these circum stances seem calculated to confer upon that port a decided superiority over any other on the coast, so soon as the completion of capacious docks will afford proper accommo dation to the maritime trade of the port. The evidence of some of the most able, practical men, before a Par alimamonencrtawrhm wereyoCommittee i of T. the House oHom fCom c m ap o t n a s in in E l i s li 3 o s t: one of the Lords of the Admiralty, Captains Forder,Ward, and Cator, R.N., Mr. Stephens, &c. is all conclusive in favour of the advantages which this port possesses for the most extensive mercantile arrangements, its facility of ac cess in all winds, and at all times of the tide, for vessels of the largest burden, when contrasted with the perils and delays which vessels to or from London are frequently subjected to in the Downs,' would almost lead us to predict that it will hereafter become a formidable rival to the me tropolitan port. We are, however, fully justified in saying that the proceedings of yesterday will be looked upon, ere many years have elapsed, as the commencement of a new era in the history of that town. hoistedfin ewas up u uu she a r l e l d in the The morning,u of bells w ; a fi s ag ex s tr ver extremely p by ub t l h ic e bruinilgdiinnggs of the town, and banners, with various appropriate devices, were displayed across the principal streets, or from the windows. The balconies of many of the houses were tastefully decorated with laurels, most of the shops were closed, and tha influx of strangers during the early part of the day, all betokened that it was " high holiday" throughout the entire district of Hampshire. At nine o'clock the Provincial Grand Lodge, and the various Lodges and visiting brethren of the county, assem bled at the Freemasons' Hall, Bugle-street ; and at ten the Lodge was, in Masonic phraseology, " close tiled."

BROOKFIELD then advanced and repeated the following prayer :—" Oh Lord God Almighty, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain and lavest the beams of thy cham bers in the waters, thy seat is high in heaven, and yet thine eyes behold and thine eyelids try the children of men. Without thee nothing is strong, nothing is holy : except thou build the city their labour is but lost that build it ; ex cept thou keep the city the watchmen watched' but in vain. Therefore we beseech thee to hear us in heaven, thy dwel ling-place, and to bow down and bless and sanctify the work which we have this day begun, in bumble dependence upon thine aid and protection. In this, as in all our doings, we pray thee preserve and follow us. Prosper thou the work of our hands upon us—Oh ! prosper thou our bandy work. We devoutly ask of thee, if it be thy good pleasure, that ' the issue of this day's undertaking may be an enlarged prosperity to our town, and that thou wilt deign to sanctify that prosperity to thine own honour and the happiness of men. If riches increase, let not men set their hearts upon them, but let them seek evermore the true riches of thy grace, and lay up their treasure where moth and rust cloth not corrupt, and where thieves break not through nor steal. And forasmuch as it is likely that this our enterprise will call forth many to occupy their business in great waters, and encounter the dangers of the sea, we therefore pray thee, who past the winds in thy keeping, and the waters in the hollow of thine hand, always to save and defend the ma riners of England. Accompany them, 0 Lord ! in their safety, and in their hour of peril hear their cry, and stretch forth thy right hand to deliver them, that being delivered from their distress, they may live to serve thee, and glorify thy name all the days of their life. Bless, we pray thee, the intercourse between this country and foreign lands, not only to their temporal, but also to their eternal prosperity ; and amid the merchandise that shall be carried to and fro upon the earth, let not the goodly pearl of great price be wanting, but let this country be the honoured means in thy hands for spreading abroad the knowledge of thy name, that thy ways may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. And, oh Lord, we beseech thee, to bless this our town and neighbourhood, and if it be in thy councils that her inhabitants should be multiplied, and her borders enlarged, we pray thee also to enlarge upon her always more and more the riches of thy grace. Endue her ministers with meekness and truth, and her magistrates with wisdom and justice ; make the rich bountiful, and the poor contented ; and may thy grace and heavenly bene diction rest upon all sorts and conditions of men. And may all things be so ordered and settled, that truth and justice, religion and piety, may be established among us for all generations. Hear us, oh Lord, and answer, for we ask all in the name, and for the sake of thy son, Jesus Christ, our Lord." The P. G. TREASURER then deposited a glass bottle containing the various coins of the past and present reign in the lower stone. The cement was then applied, and the stone slowly lowered to its place, the Provincial Grand Master proving it to be properly adjusted by the level plumb-rule and square, which were presented by the P. G. J. Warden, the P. G. S. Warden, and the Deputy P. G. Master. The P. G. Architect then delivered the mallet, with which the P. G. Master gave three knocks, saying I May THE GREAT ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE enable us successfully to carry on and finish the work of which we have now laid the Foundation Stone, and every other undertaking that may tend to the advantage of the Town and County of Southampton, and its Harbour. May He be a guard and protection to them, and may they long be preserved from peril and decay." The several implements were then returned, and the plan of the work presented by the engineer, F. Giles, Esq., of which the P. G. Master signified his approval and re turned it to the Engineer. The P. G. M. then scattered corn and poured wine and oil upon the stone, saying : " May the bountiful hand of HEAVEN ever supply this country with abundance of Corn, Wine, and Oil, and all the necessaries and comforts of life." The P. G. Master having rc-ascended the platform, formally announced to the Chairman that the stone had been duly laid. He trusted that the great work which had been just now so auspiciously commenced, would be carried to a happy termination. The undertaking was one which was calculated to promote the welfare and prosperity of the town and neighbourhood, by giving a new stimulus to commercial enterprise and affording permanent and remu nerating employment for a large number of the working classes. He trusted that they would shortly see those docks crowded with the vessels of all nations freighted with rich and ample cargoes from the remotest climes of the east and west, an d t h at they would render Southampton the grand southern erirepot of commerce in that tcalcu lated country. It was undertakiinzs like the present that were b t o p romote t h e peace an d prosperi ty of mankind,es and THE DINNER. A public dinner, in commemoration of the important proceedings of the day, took place in the evening at the Star Hotel, which was attended by the Earl of Yarborough, Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis, C. 8., the Worshipful Mayor, and several of the Aldermen and Town Council, the Rev. W. H. Brookfield, Captain Ward, R.N., the Chairman, and several of the Directors of the Dock Company, and about 150 of the principal inhabitants of the town. The dinner provided by Shepherd was excellent, and the wines, including an abundance of champagne, of first rate quality. Joseph Ligr,girs, Esq., presided. After ample justice had been done to the good things provided, and grace said, The CHAIRMAN rose and said—Gentlemen, in proposing to you the first toast, and thereby giving you an opportu nity of expressing your loyalty to your S o v ere i gn , an d your attachment to the Throne, 1 cannot refrain from reminding you that the stupendous work we have this day commenced, is the first work of the kind ever begun in this country dur. ing the reign of a Queen.—(Hear, hear.) It is, more over, the first work. of any mt gnitude commenced at so early an age of the Sovereign of these realms. As these our Docks are now in a state of infancy, and her Majesty, I hope, in the enjoyment of the bloom of youth, let us hope that both will advmee together in peace and prosperity to a happy old age.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) " The Queen."—Drank with nine times nine. The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, there is another illustri ous lady, who, by her virtuous and exemplary conduct, has endeared herself to the heart of every British subject. The bereavement she has sustained has excited, I believe I may venture to affirm, the regret and sympathy of every British bosom.—(Hear, hear.) She has recently left odr shores, to search in a distant land for the restoration of that health, which in her own clime has been denied to her, and let us hope that she may not be disappointed. -- ( Hear, hear.) There are other members of the Royal tt Family to whom I need not allude further than ? they are branches of that illustrious house which eo ver these so many years happily and prosperously reign realms.
